The nose on this sake is a clever collection of yeasty, caramel, and leather aromas. There are sweet hints but the sake is comfortable with juicy and wild acidity and moderate umami. You can pair this sake with rich flavored dishes such as grilled eel, yakitori with teriyaki sauce, Peking duck, or braised pork. It is better at room temperature than cold, or it tastes even better when warmed at 45 to 50 degrees Celsius.
